Georgia is one of harder hit States for unemployment and is one of the States that can claim up to 99 weeks of benefits. You can collect 26 weeks of regular unemployment from Georgia then 53 additional weeks from the federal government through their 4 tiers (20,14,13, 6 weeks). After that you can get SEB benefits for an additional 20 weeks bringing the total to 99 weeks. Currently (Aug 2010) there is legislation in the Senate to add a 5th tier of 20 additonal weeks for States with unemployment rates higher than 7.5% (which Georgia easily qualifies for with an official unemployment rate of 10% right now). There won`t be any movement on that until at least September when congress returns to session.

Currently, Connecticut does not qualify tier IV extended unemployment benefits (as of July 29, 2010). CT offers 26 weeks of regular unemployment just like most states. After you exhaust 26 weeks of state benefits you can claim additional benefits from the Federal government. The federal government extended benefits program consists of 4 tiers (the first 3 are available to CT). The first 3 tiers add 20, 14 and 13 weeks of benefits. If you exhaust Tier I, II and III you can apply for EB benefits from CT for an additional 20 weeks. This brings the total number of weeks of unemployment available in CT to 93 weeks (or 99 - 6 weeks of tier IV benefits CT does not qualify for currently).

This comes verbatim from the State of Wisconsin`s site, and I am certain every other state has similar wording on the subject :
Do I have to report working if I have not been paid yet?
Yes. You must report working in every week that you work, no matter when you will be paid for the work. And all wages must be reported on your weekly claim certification for the week in which they were earned, not in the week you are paid. If you do not report working in a week that you work, you could be penalized in addition to having to pay back any improperly received benefits.

There is currently a Bill in the Senate called the American`s Want to Work Act which has a provision to add a 5th tier of unemployment benefits. In order for your State to qualify it must have an unemployment rate above 7.5%. Also in the bill is a tax credit to businesses who hire long term unemployed people. This bill will not have a chance to pass until not till after 9/13 when congress comes back from their break. Until then, 99 weeks is the maximum amount of benefits available in any State.

State extended unemployment benefits in Georgia can last up to 20 full weeks. This is in addition to the 26 weeks of regular unemployment and the 53 weeks of Federal unemployment through tiers 1 - 4. A tier 5 has been tabled in the Senate which would add 20 more weeks and a 5th tier to federal unemployment for states with unemployment rates higher than 7.5%.

You will not meet the minimum requirements for amount of insurable hours for the base period. If you don`t meet the minimum eligibility to file a claim you will just get rejected. How much would you expect to get paid when you only worked 2 weeks anyway?
